Here's the Review

Our gaming PC pick

With no retail gaming PCs available, the best affordable gaming PC we found online becomes our overall winner by default: Maingear's Prelude. It costs $150 more than the Polywell Poly i570SLI, but in our experience, the Maingear Prelude is worth the extra money. We've seen a number of systems from Polywell and a handful from Maingear over the years, and though there is nothing inherently wrong with Polywell PCs, they aren't built with the same care you'd get from a small boutique, such as Maingear. Buy from a company that specializes in high-performance gaming PCs, and even when you choose a more basic model, you'll still get the same level of custom craftsmanship. Plus, Maingear's proprietary case for the Prelude is much better looking, to our eye, than anything Polywell offers. And like any good gaming boutique, Maingear is careful to neatly bind the cables and wires and route them out of the way. A tidy interior makes it easier to work inside the case and maximizes airflow. Plus, we give Maingear props for its great site, with a simple and clear configuration tool. Maingear also earns points for offering the new GeForce 7950 GT card.

Maingear's combination of aggressive pricing and solid build quality make its Prelude a very attractive and affordable gaming PC.

If you have less than $2,000 to spend on a gaming PC, the Maingear Prelude is one of the best deals around. It's our current recommendation for gamers looking for a fast PC at a fair price that also offers room to grow on down the line.

I'm normally a patient man but all of these amazing reviews are making it REALLY hard for me to wait to receive my system :) OK, OK...I'll put down the coffee and relax a little.

Another well deserved review that confirms Maingears domination! Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing this review!

Yea this review along with the review on HardOCP are what really sold me on MainGear, finding out that they where located 5 minutes from my house was just a bonus for me. Oh and since im on here, if your reading this Wallace, when would be the best date and time for me to bring my comp in to perform the updates and add the hardware we talked about. In case anyone is wondering, MainGear is updating my computer and adding some better cooling upgrades to my rig free of charge, cause their customer service is on point like that 8)

I still think someone has to thank a company who is this dedicated to building great computers and offering such amazing service :) It is easy to build a computer and offer service but much more difficult to offer great computers and amazing service along with it. I've been in the IT field for almost fifteen years and dealt with my share of companies; Maingear stands alone in this market. I would say more but I respect and appreciate the fact that this forum does not allow bashing other companies :)

I am happy to wait for the quality I know I will be receiving! I just play the grumpy, ol' man well...hmmm, wait...maybe there is some truth to it the older I get :)

if your reading this Wallace, when would be the best

Scoobysti87, I personally will relay the message back to Wallace. Unfortunately he is an extremely busy man and many not necessarily read your post as quickly as most would like. That is my job. To make sure everything on these forums is taken care of quickly and efficiently. His busy days doesn't always allow him to scan the entire forum for specific questions, that is why he has built a wonderful team (myself, and two others) to help support and control the forums.

Well, in that case....Your welcome.
